He was taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening.

Minutes after being called to Terrace Avenue in the Melrose neighborhood, police were called to the intersection of West Lawrence Street and New Scotland Avenue for another shooting — about a mile and a half from the first incident.
